Chapter 484: Sudden bad news?
Chapter 484: Sudden bad news?
Time is like water, it never comes back.
For Ivan and his group, the teleportation distance of 5,000 meters has become a thing of the past, and it has been quite some time.
Now, they are facing another hurdle - 10,000 meters.
When the transmission distance was 5,000 meters, the total time they spent was exactly 100 days.
On the day of success, everyone including Ivan was very happy, but they did not slack off and immediately moved on to the fifth stage of research.
Ivan chose 10,000 meters against all odds, and all measures for the fifth stage were arranged according to this distance.
No more small-scale fights, no more increasing the distance by one thousand meters at a time.
As many people have said, a distance of one thousand meters is too short for a third-level wizard. Everyone knows that they will take this step sooner or later. Otherwise, it will take too much energy and materials to increase the distance little by little.
Ivan simply made the decision first and helped others make the same decision.
Another hundred days passed.
The fifth stage is in full swing. As we all know, this kind of thing cannot be done in a hurry. We need to solve every problem we encounter step by step until there are no more hidden dangers.
"Wizard Nelson, from a long-term perspective, the traction force of a traction lighthouse is totally insufficient. I need this number to be doubled, or even tripled, quadrupled, or even quadrupled."
"I will try my best to improve, great scholar."
"Wizard Sandai, when can the large sky energy tower be accommodated in the structure of the central base tower? What I need is an energy tower combined with a particle pool. The two complement each other--"
"Great scholar, give me two hundred days, no, one hundred and fifty days, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer."
"Yudura, the response between the recall order and Kita is not strong enough, can we--"
“——”
As the project entered its fifth phase, the research team had become quite mature.
The wizards have thoroughly understood Ivan's ideas and work style, and are particularly skilled in cooperating with Ivan's plan. They know which direction to go deeper, when they must notify Ivan to check, and so on.
Ivan was very happy to see this scene. He split his plan into small tasks and assigned them to different people. Most of the time, he just did nothing.
This way, he has more time to think about some difficult problems that are hard to overcome.
On this day, Ivan arranged a bunch of tasks as usual and walked towards the independent area. As soon as he walked out of the exploration area, he found Hotes approaching quickly.
"Ivan, guess who's here to cause trouble?"
"Fitzrad or Gardner?"
“Neither, but two pseudo-lord-level bloodline transformers who tried to sneak into the Empty Flow Valley. However, no matter how cunning they were, they still ran into me, haha.”
Because of Tanya, Hotes really regarded logistical support as his main job, which included checking for hidden dangers and preventing people from sneaking in and causing trouble.
Hotes is now doing a great job.
"I asked, and both of them are here to kill you."
"Oh."
"What do you mean by 'oh'?"
Not seeing the expression he wanted to see, Hotes was a little disappointed and confused.
"You are an arcane wizard, and you do nothing but patrol. And you only deal with two pseudo-lord-level hunters. Is it surprising?" Ivan said lightly.
"You know that's not what I meant. Why don't you ask them why they want to kill you?" Hotes said.
"Bounty and revenge. When I was exploring the Great Sky River, they sent an airship to intercept me. I cleared it out, so they will naturally not let it go."
"I see. I've never heard you mention it before."
Hotes realized that he already knew it, and then said regretfully: "What a pity, the power behind the blood transformer is too hidden, and they know us wizards very well. They know how to prevent us from searching for key information from our memories." After hearing this, Ivan paused.
He also realized that the enemy had a way to prevent the leakage of information in the memory, and it was not as he had previously believed that the blood transformers he met were non-core members.
But on second thought, it makes sense. The Green Sprout Society, the Ten Thousand Beast Society, the Blood Ancestor Society, etc. all have people who have reached the fourth level. It would be strange if we didn't know how powerful the wizards' methods are.
If you didn't know how to guard against it, your true identity would have been exposed long ago.
"You don't have to worry about those guys. The higher-ups have made proper arrangements. Once the time is right, they will definitely be eradicated and their future troubles will be eliminated forever."
Seeing that there was something strange in his expression, Hotes thought that he was worried that the blood transformer would eventually become a disaster.
"I'm not worried. If the sky collapses, there will be support from above."
"Haha, what you said is very right. Let the Sky King, Ice Queen and other big guys worry about it. We just do our job."
"What about those two families? Have they not made any moves recently? I haven't heard you mention them for some time." Ivan didn't want to delve into the matter and changed the subject directly.
"Yes, there were a lot of moves, but President Doradoli was very domineering and blocked them all. You should know that those guys pursue high efficiency and have never been involved in space research. This is what Doradoli dislikes the most. Now they want to find an excuse to come to the Sky Flow Valley, but naturally nothing works."
Hotes smiled.
Ivan glanced at someone out of the corner of his eye, and it seemed that this guy was one of the people he was talking about.
The difference is that after he became an arcane wizard, he has begun to dabble in spatial knowledge, but not much.
"By the way, do you know what Morris is doing recently?" Hotes understood and changed the subject calmly.
"Locke said that Morris is concentrating on comprehending the secret method of clones."
"That's right. That secret technique requires talent. Morris is obviously a little bit lacking in it, but he is reluctant to give up. He has been struggling with it for a while now."
After getting to know Locke, Morris became more interested in the secret method of "Multitudinous Being", and it seemed that he had to learn it.
Regrettably, he has not been able to learn it for a long time. Just as Tanya commented, it requires outstanding talent. Without talent, no matter how hard you try to comprehend it, it will be a little bit worse. Forcing yourself to practice it will backfire.
It is better to believe in such a mysterious thing than to believe it not.
Based on this, Ivan was reluctant to give him any advice, lest he do something bad with good intentions.
……
Another two hundred days passed.
The 10,000-meter teleportation distance of the city return tower is almost achieved. Based on the current results, it can be said that it has exceeded the exploration progress of many arcane wizards.
Ivan is not complacent about this.
Unlike the teleportation array which usually only includes two stations, the construction of the return tower is undoubtedly extremely complicated.
The return tower requires laying out various light and dark towers, large and small towers along the way, and connecting them into sections of rune magic arrays in order to condense and stabilize the space channel required for transmission.
This is not so much a matter of academic excellence as it is a matter of superiority in conception and structure.
In terms of knowledge, he borrowed a lot of knowledge explored by his predecessors and combined it with a large number of ready-made facilities, such as traction lighthouses, large-scale energy towers, etc.
He was standing on the shoulders of his predecessors and building his own things based on what they had explored.
If we talk about the credit, Ivan certainly would not think that it was just his own credit. A large part of the credit actually belongs to the entire Space School. Without the countless years of accumulation of the Space School, there would be no return to the city tower.
"Ivan, something terrible has happened."
When Ivan was full of ambition, Hotes found him in a hurry, and his heart skipped a beat when he opened his mouth.
Even an arcane wizard said it was not good. Wasn't the situation about to get out of hand?
